The Role of Reason and Emotion in Spiritual Theology

I don't think there is at all persuasive evidence for the existence of a divine creator of the world or a divine providence ruling or guiding the world so I just think we should not accept that as a starting assumption. When you get to the question of the role of reason and emotion and what Dennis Prager said about you know what would happen if you didn't believe in a God I think that that's wrong but it's a more interesting philosophical argument. A lot of philosophers agree with that view one of the greatest philosophers that I had contact with was the Oxford philosopher Derek Parford who died in 2017. For a being to be experiencing severe suffering Parford talks about agony is a bad thing
